Letter: Spiller shined as Navy officer, will shine as mayor
I want to encourage every voter in the city of Westbrook to cast their vote to elect Phil Spiller as mayor. I have known Phil for the past 20 years, and even without living in the area I would bet he is far and above the best candidate for the office. And I’ll tell you […]

Letter: Business owner says Spiller’s devotion unparalleled
I have been watching with incredulous interest as one of the most interesting campaigns in Westbrook’s history has unfolded – and I’m quite sure I’m not the only one in Westbrook who is excited beyond words about one of our mayoral candidates. There is simply no one in Westbrook with as much love for its […]

Letter: Spiller embraces qualities of his late father

Letter: Spiller positive thinker who transforms energy into reality
I have been a member of Westbrook’s Prides Corner Congregational Church for 10 years. During Sunday’s service, one of the hymns played was “God of Grace and God of Glory.” In 1930, the inspirational lyrics of this hymn were written by “positive thinker” the Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick. Fosdick was born in Buffalo, New York, […]

Letter: Nonpartisan Spiller has friends across political spectrum
I am not the type of person who normally pens letters in support of a candidate for office. I share a cynical skepticism that many fellow Gen-Xers have with regard to politicians and their intentions. And during these deeply divisive times, anything said can escalate quickly into an argument – lending further incentive to not […]

Letter: Spiller would be one of city’s greatest mayors
I think I met Phil Spiller back around 2004, when he was going from full time to part time in the U.S. Navy and starting a career in the airlines with JetBlue. I became immediately aware that everyone that knew Phil loved him, and that he was someone anyone could count on. He was not […]

Letter: Westbrook’s future in good hands with Spiller
“Honor the Past. Engage in the Present. Embolden the Future.” Every email note that Phil Spiller has written carries that tag line at the bottom. Phil and I first met in early 2016 – when he reached out to me while doing research of the relationship between Urban Renewal programs of the 1960s and ’70s […]

Looking Back: Oct. 24
Oct. 26, 1994 The possibility has arisen that if Westbrook votes yes on municipal power Nov. 8, nobody in the city could get power from Central Maine Power Co. Thomas Welch, chairman of the Maine Public Utilities Commission, told the American Journal Thursday that the PUC probably would be called on to decide whether CMP […]

Letter: Shaughnessy brings visionary sensibility to mayor’s race
There are not many times when someone running for office on the local level stirs my imagination. Michael Shaughnessy does. Michael is the one candidate who brings a visionary sensibility to the mayor’s race in Westbrook. I am energized by his vision of making sustainability a factor in Westbrook government, at long last. I am […]
